Blood from the veins is collected in the right and left atria of the heart. The atria can contract because of the impulses from the sinoatrial node (SA) (the heart’s natural pacemaker). When this happens,...

Synapse is the gap between two adjacent neurons in which neurotransmitters are released. Arriving action potential depolarises pre-synaptic membrane. This causes voltage gated calcium channels in membrane...

I would draw a diagram showing the structure of a cell membrane and explain each of the parts:The cell membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer which is composed of a hydrophilic head and a hydropho...

The human heart beats around 60-100 beats per minute. Blood enters the right atrium via the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava, the blood moves through the tricuspid valve into the right ventri...

1. The arrival of an action potential at the synaptic knob opens calcium ion channels in the pre-synaptic membrane and Ca++ flow in from the synaptic cleft 2. Ca++ cause vesicles of neurotransmitters t...
